How about this? Comcast gigabit --> Motorola modem --> Ubiquiti Dream Machine Special Edition --> Ubiquiti U6 wifi mesh access points

Site is picky about uploading pictures, think I got it now. There are 8 ports on the dead switch. There are 2 x Ethernet jacks in the office, one in the kitchen, one over the fireplace on the first floor. one in each of the bedrooms upstairs.

Yep, I paid for 2 whole house surge protectors. They didn't work because the electrician didn't install them correctly. That will be rectified. And already had UPS for some of the equipment, just not the switch. If I ditch the Orbi and the dead switch, should the new switch have the router...

I want to figure out what would be best instead of just throwing another switch in there. Attaching pics of my house. Can the switch be the router with access points for wifi? Let's not focus on the surge itself. I had many devices on power surge protectors and I had whole-house surge...

Hey all. First post in a very long time. I'm fine around wifi routers but I don't know much about hardwire switches. I moved into a new house like a year and a half ago. Electrician set up a wired network for me with a switch. My setup was like this: Comcast gigabit --> Motorola modem -->...

I have 2 R6300v2 s, 1 as a router and 1 as a bridge. I am very happy with them. Over a year ago, I went from my trusted DIR-655 to 2 x R6300 v1 s. They were pretty flakey in performance with lots of time outs and drop outs. I sold both and went to an Asus RT-666u and while that router was...

I was 100% sold on buying an Asus RT-N66U. I had it my cart and was just doing final research before buying and then I saw the RT-AC66U. I guess I might as well wait for the RT-AC66U now. My DIR-655 still works for the time being, but I really would like an upgrade!

I'd be really happy with 100 megabits! I was getting like 24 to 26 max with powerline adapters and that didn't cut it for HD videos.

I still haven't gotten around to dealing with this (other than returning the powerline adapters). But when I buy MoCA adapters, I'll buy from Amazon so that I have the option of returning them.

Thanks for the reply. Let me know how it works out for you!

Thanks again!

Thanks very helpful, thank you! I did try pulling manuals for some MoCA adapters but some of the MoCA adapters models listed for sale on Amazon aren't even listed on their company websites. I doubt that most people even know that MoCA exists. Is there any particular MoCA adapter that you...

Well since WiFi and HomePlug 500 Mbps aren't cutting it in my house (both are too slow to stream blu-ray content), I'm looking into MoCA. The problem is that there isn't a lot of documentation about MoCA on the web in terms of how you set it up. Below I have listed how I currently have...

Thank you for the reply. I agree, I was looking at MoCA today at work. I find it hard to believe that it can coexist with HD cable TV but I'm thinking it over. It's becoming increasingly obvious that for Powerline and MoCA you need a good return policy as you never know what you are going to...

Hieveryone, Like the title says, I need help with figuring out way my network is too slow for streaming blu-rays or 1080p video (standard Def and even 720p video seems more or less OK). I recently added powerline adapters so that I could finally have an Internet connection in my basement...
